Giving Thanks...

Thanksgiving was a smaller affair than usual, but it was still so wonderful. We went over to my mom and dad's and in addition to family members, we were able to spend the holiday with our very special family friends (part of the family, at least).Thanksgiving is such a fun holiday, especially when you're not in charge of the turkey:) I felt more reflective than usual and truly thankful for all the God-given gifts in my life. While we have more than a few missing faces around the table and we missed them all so much, we're looking forward to seeing them all sooner than later! We had a special treat when it started to snow and Auntie Kels took Parker out in the snow! Isn't is fun to watch children appreciate these small wonders? It is snowing again today and Parker is practicing his newest word: NOOOOOO (which translates to snow). Funny how it sounds similar to his other favorite word!

What a wonderful Thanksgiving we had! Although we were indeed missing some very important people, it was still such a special time. I have only been back at school for less than 12 hours and I already miss home and seeing you and Pike pretty much everyday. Enjoy the snow Mimes! I love you.

P.S. Just to let you know, a certain someone called to make sure I made it back safely. I thought that would make you smile!
